Dive-site story
Situated off the sandy shoreline of Basdaku in Moalboal, this reef features a shallow plateau that gives way to a sloping drop-off adorned with hard coral formations and sea fans. Gentle drift conditions frequently allow divers to cruise past crevices sheltering macro critters while keeping an eye open for grazing sea turtles on the reef top.
Extensive hard coral gardens transitioning into a steep drop-off
Frequent green and hawksbill sea turtle encounters along the shallows
Macro photography opportunities with diverse nudibranchs and frogfish tucked into coral heads
